I spent a decent chunk of money at Amazon last year. I promise you I saved that $100 5 times over.

Correct, because you aren't getting two day shipping for under $10 an item unless the shipping cost is built into the price of them item.

unless you're not buying from amazon in the first place

Don't much care about 2 day shipping because I'm not running out of toilet paper and waiting on amazon to ship me some from 2 states away

Like Uber, it is a luxury item. You pay to avoid getting off your arse, getting in your car, driving through traffic, parking, searching for what you need in the store, standing in line amongst other tards (I find that I hate the general public), checking out with some cashier who hates her life, walking back out to your car, driving back home through traffic, and then getting home with your item.

For some people, that experience isn't stressful at all. For me personally, I'd rather stick knives through my eyeballs than deal with anything more than my normal Sunday morning produce stand and Fresh Market/Mathernes stop. I don't use Amazon for food-groceries since I like my quiet grocery trips to less populated stores, but Amazon is hugely helpful for the things I can only get at WalMart, Target, in hell, etc.

For a lot of people, paying $$$$ to get 5 miles down the road during surge pricing with Uber isn't worth it. If I'm drunk and ready to be home, I won't even think twice about it. It all depends on the value you place on convenience.

Clearly, there are plenty of people out there who are not bothered in the least by others. They stick their head in the clouds and text through traffic and leave their shopping carts against cars in the parking lot and in general just have a pretty easy experience when they go shopping. But for someone like me whose insides turn to fire when I see people being stupid/careless/lazy, it is best for us all that I pay that $99 and shop from my couch.

Downvoted for CAD

Why is he the only person, in the history of the world, that has had continued problems with Amazon? Maybe Amazon reads TD and is fricking with him. That would be clutch as frick


They really have expedited everything from buying to shipping to complaints and returning stuff. Commendable

I look at price too and utilize eBay or other stores but Amazon is cheaper on a lot of the things I buy. Also, IDC about paying a little more for something for the convenience sometimes.

In all seriousness I buy all of these things in BULK when they go on sale. I hate paying regular price so when I see old spice 2 for 1 at Kroger I buy like 10.

like right now, I need some new bulbs for my truck, but I really don't feel like going to Autozone or wherever after work or during lunch, so I'll just order them while at work, and they will just show up at my door Thursday with no shipping cost

Thanks for the reminder, I just ordered a pack of 3057s for my truck.

I'm a Prime member and a fan. However, I have noticed more and more fake reviews on Amazon. In fact, some items are completely dominated by fake reviews.

I've started clicking on the reviewer for items that sound like the seller has inflated the product with fake reviews. Often you'll find that a review wrote 10-15 reviews on June 24, 2013 and never again. Make your way down the list of reviewers and it's the same for many. 10-15 reviews on one day, never again. It really irritates me because Amazon reviews used to be awesome and my first stop for product info.
